Assignable CD/tape inputs have been incorporated for routing flexibility.Behringer's innovative and affordable XENYX mixers provide the home recordist and club musician with pristine sound quality and cutting-edge features for very little outlay. The XENYX Mic Preamp approaches the sound quality, transparency, headroom, and even the dynamic range of boutique-style, standalone mic preamps. Behringer's neo-classic "British EQ" brings back the warmth and musicality of those '60s and '70s mega-console desks that made music history.

I've purchased this unit few weeks ago. I've connected this mixer with a RolanPiano 5000s with MT32 sound processor, a pair of Behringer microphones XM8500 and a Casio CTK-593 keyboard, connected the main out to an RA-100 studio amplifier with a pair of Alesis I MKII loudspeakers. The quality of sound processed by this mixer is phenomenal and I was very impressed with its very low-noise ratio. With all potentiometers to maximum there is very little noise comming out from it. Recorded few songs and the quality of the sound is extraordinar. I recommend this to anyone who has a low budget, for the money you get an great mixer.

I wanted to use this mixing board for several hardware synths. But that was hard to do considering the wall of noise coming out of the Mixer. Its acceptable to have a low level of noise, because analog. But no, Its like turning on your old TV and listening to the noise before you changed the channel. I literally don't know how this has 5 stars.

I'll admit I was skeptical about the Behringer Xenyx 802 just because of the price alone. But, once I got it home and hooked it up I was definitely glad I bought it. For home recording it's a great piece of equipment for way less money than most of its competitors. It's easy to use and can be set up a few different ways depending on how you want the sound to run into your recording system. It works well as a pre-amp by itself or going through FX and Amps. The only thing lacking is the instruction manual. If you don't know how a mixer is supposed to work don?t rely on the included manual to teach you. But there are plenty of online resources that can get you started.

First off let me start with my credentials. I've been running DJ equipment for large theatre companies and a few bands for 8 or so years now. I've worked with many technicians who date back to even working on Alice Cooper's crew, so I'm not green behind the ears when it comes to sound equipment. I also sing in my own band, and needed a quick fix for a concert we had coming up, and had no budget at the time for a fancy board. So I picked this little guy up. We hooked up my mic, the guitarist and bassist through the board, and plugged into pa speakers, and the results were awesome. Anyone who needs a quick fix or a light portable board, Definitely consider this Behringer board.

We own 14 of these units which are used once weekly for about 2 hours at a time. The initial pricing is decent and the units have been performing well overall. On two of the units, we have experienced power adapter failures. In one case, the adapter stopped working for reasons unknown, and in the other, the pins on the proprietary DIN connector sheared off. On the remainder of the units, we have problems with the power adapter pins bending if we're not careful inserting them. The unit has serviced us well, though if we could find another brand at this price point that used a cylindrical AC adapter connector (like the kind you see on most consumer electronics) we would buy it in a heartbeat.

I was wondering how this inexpensive unit would perform; I got it home and first plugged it into my Klipsch desktop speakers and notice an immediate difference in the sound quality (did not expect it to get that much better). I then set up for a Halloween party that I had the pleasure of providing sound for; during the sound checks it made a great sounding combination of speakers sound even better. The EQ controls allowed for the minor tweaking that other mixers in the same price range did not offer. I would recommend this mixer to anyone that asks. The right price, the right sound, how could you possibly go wrong.

I bought this thing a month ago and i'm pleased with it. I'm using it as a headphone amplifier, and it's doing its job great!! Overall quality isn't the best, but it's good enough for home. I recommend it to everyone that is not an audiophile =)

I bought this thing 6 months ago and am using it for mixing 2 signals (from computer and cd players), adding effects to my mix (through fx send/return) and as a headphone amplifier. It works with no problem, but the main mix level regulator makes some sound when moved, i'll need to replace the potentiomether soon. But overall, i like it!

I have a solo act where I play three guitars using a loop station, often switching guitars in mid-song, so I use my Xenyx 802 as an instrument mixer on the floor along with the rest of my effects gear. Two of my guitars have high-impedance instrument-level outputs that cannot properly interface directly to a mixer, so I use a Horizon Stereoline STL-1 dual direct-box to precondition their outputs. The two direct-box outputs go into the two mixer mic inputs. All three guitars have radically different equalization requirements, so the mixer�ۡ���s equalizers and the direct box together allow me to fully balance all of my guitars�ۡ��� different characteristics, producing one fully conditioned output signal that I then feed into either my amp or my effects chain. The Xenyx 802 works beautifully. It is astoundingly quiet. I don�ۡ���t know what �ۡ��̏British�ۡ�ݕ�_ EQ is, but the tone controls work fine. Mostly I just need something that mixes, equalizes, and is otherwise acoustically invisible. The 802 does this job perfectly with no hum, buzz, or any other sort of noise. Considering the price, it is a simply amazing value.

Well I purchased this unit before purchasing an Alesis USB unit for my laptop. To be honest I guess you get what you pay for here. First off the unit did not have much available for directions or product support. The mic pres are far from great, and I would not recommend using them for any serious recordng. I guess this would be a good unit to use as a scratch pad for recording in order to get ideas down quickly. If you are looking for something to do demo work I would not recommend this unit. The mixer is also a bit noisy and the unit seems to not be very durable so I could not recommend using it as a portable unit. I think you would be better off to save your money and try something else. I now use the unit as a headphone mixer.

I needed a headphone mixer for our rehearsal space so I picked this little unit up on the cheaps. I've been really impressed with the power of this thing and the great variety of possible configurations. Paired with my simple four channel midi-interface, the configurations are practically limitless. Mostly I use the control side for monitor mixes and the main to sub-mix our electronincs en route to the PA. I haven't begun to use it as a recording interface, so I haven't had much use for the mic pre-amps yet, But I look forward to the flexibility this unit will offer when recording time comes. Oh, and in our shared studio space you know this thing gets kicked around and dropped and stepped on. It seems totally indestructable. All around a great value and it's so tiny and light weight you can take it anywhere.

This mixer may look small and cheap, but has amazing sound quality. It is a good mixer for anyone who is starting a garage band or recording a podcast. Just watch out for the power adapter. The end that plugs into the mixer has tiny prongs that can be bent very easily. Over all this is a very good mixer for a very good price!

I originally got this 8-10 years ago for its 48v phantom power so I could use a condenser mic with my accoustic amp (also a Beringer). It did its job there just fine, letting me amplify my violin. Recently, I hooked it up to allow use of an xlr connnector mic (Shure SM58) into my computer. Unfortunately, after a few weeks (yes, weeks), the preamps both started generating a buzzing in their signals. I no longer use the condenser mic, so I'll not be getting a replacement mixer, but rather a USB connected audio interface for the mic-to-computer connection and will be careful about turning it off when not in use. Overall, I was happy with the 802, but felt compelled to post this warning, especially since it doesn't have a power on/off switch.

If you're interested in a small, simple, easy to use, yet still beautiful sounding mixer, I recomend this over all others. The one problem with most compact mixers is the excess noise, but with the Xenyx-802 you hear nothing other than what you want to hear. I am amazed at all of the different features packed into such an affordable a compact package. I can't tell you how many times I have dropped this on the ground and it still refuses to break. It's so durable and sounds so great I thoroughly recomend it.

I just started recording for a little over a year now, and I recieved this mixer as a gift. It has done me extremely well, and seems nearly indestructable. My only complaint is that it seems to heat up rather quickly, however, I have never experienced any difficulty with overheating or what not. Anyway, this product sounds excellent, and is just what I needed for my recording.

This is a nice little intuitive mixer that anyone with a small home studio can use. Also, it would be great for location work. The preamps are surprisingly quiet and it works well for my application as a mixer for the listening station for a folk festival.

I was looking for a mixer with at least a couple of XLR inputs for my small home studio and/or band rehearsals and gave this mixer a shot, and i'm very happy with it so far! There is almost NO noise/hiss on the mics (unless you turn the volume all the way up on that channel), and it gives a nice boost to my bass (as opposed to running it through my stereo like I had been doing, which made my bass sound flat and lifeless) For now I'll mostly be using it for recording onto my computer (or my old 4 track machine) If you need a good mixer on a budget I'd reccommend it!

I bought this mixer to replace a Realistic (Radio Shack) 4-pot mixer for my home recording set-up. The Realistic was quite noisy, especially if it had been on for more than an hour or so. The Behringer is easy to set up, is quiet, and consistent (no suddenly sensitive spots in the level pots). I run a variety of mics through it to my computer for recording projects for my students, original songs, backup tracks, etc. I've also used it as a headphone amp. This mixer has great features and build quality at this price point. I don't know about the reliability of the power supply connection, but I aniticipate no problems as I'm not traveling with it.

I just needed a mixer to play sound from 2 media sources and occasionally use 1-2 mics on a 1,000 watt sound system. The sound is very clean and full. I have a 31 band EQ, but the 3 EQ adjustments are PERFECT. The bass control is punchy, mids clear and treble crisp. Awesome effects send, control room, phones and main out. This mixer should sell for much more!
